Wearing the same old Vans and Jordans is a bit too overrated, and most people are sick of it, don’t you think? EPIC Workshops has been thinking about it a little bit (way too much), and we’ve thought of something. How about getting all artsy with your bland sneakers? We’re talking about turning your ordinary sneakers into extraordinary and fully customized works of art.
Here are our top 5 recommendations for sneakers art jamming techniques that you should give a shot either on your own or with the help of a professional (our workshop is always open for you ‘wink’)
- Custom Stencilling: Because Who Wants a Boring Shoe?
As always, let’s start with the classics. Stenciling on sneakers is an old technique that is still used by many, but it can also be considered a lost art because, well, we’re all too obsessed with keeping those branded shoes neat and clean, which, let’s be honest, doesn’t always work. So why not get a bit artsy? You can either make sleek designs or funky patterns for your sneakers; whichever one works best with your aesthetic and personality. It is like giving your sneakers a tattoo without the pain (or the commitment).
- Drip Painting: Let the Colours Fly (But Maybe Wear a Poncho)
Next up, drip painting! It may be a messy way, but it sure does look good. There is no denying that fact. Don’t let complicated instructors give you second thoughts about it; all you need is some paint and a paintbrush to turn your sneakers into a work of art. When it comes to drip painting, the more chaotic, the better the outcome. And if you end up with more paint on yourself than on your shoes, that’s just part of the fun, isn’t it? Have fun while you’re at it, and give this technique a shot!
- Airbrushing: Like Painting, But Cooler (Literally)
Want to crank it up a notch? Try out the technique called ‘airbrushing’. Trust us, this technique is going to have you feeling like a professional artist, even if you’re just a beginner trying to wing it. You’ve got to keep their hands steady, though. Shaky hands aren’t the best thing for turning your sneakers into a work of art. If you do it right, you might not make it to the museum, but we assure you that Instagram and Pinterest are going to love the aesthetics of your artsy crafty shoes!
- Embroidery: Because Who Says Sneakers Can’t Wear Sweaters?
Last but certainly not least, we have embroidery, which is the process of giving your trainers their unique little personality and texture by stitching them over and over again. It is similar to giving your shoes a small sweater for their feet, but it is made of a much cooler material. Whether you choose to customize your trainers with flowers, animals, or your unique designs, embroidery gives you the leverage to give them a one-of-a-kind look that is sure to attract attention. So, grab your needle and thread, and let’s get stitching!
- Bonus Idea: Glow-in-the-Dark Accents!
Who says the fun has to stop when the lights go out? What we mean to say is that you can add an extra element of surprise to your sneakers with glow-in-the-dark accents. Whether you’re painting stars, planets, or abstract patterns, using glow-in-the-dark paint adds a whole new look and a different type of vibe to your sneaker designs. Imagine stepping out at night and watching your sneakers light up with every step—talk about making a statement!
With glow-in-the-dark accents, you can turn your boring old sneakers into wearable works of art that are sure to turn heads day and night!
